This glass cup is designed by Makoto Komatsu 小松 誠, a renowned craft designer, with its original prototype once selected for the collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. The frosted finish gives it a subtle yet mysterious texture. At first glance, the lines may appear somewhat rugged, but when held, it fits comfortably in the hand, perfectly balancing design and functionality.

About Kimura Glass

Kimura Glass, one of Japan’s premier glass companies, has been handcrafting unique and functional glassware since 1910. This crumpled glass was designed by Makoto Komatsu, whose works have been collected by museums like MoMA and V&A. Komatsu describes the "Crinkle/Crumple" series as the most important work of his career. The line was inspired by accidental paper imprints he would notice on plaster molds used for mass producing ceramics.
